Owls sign five more players after recruiting trip

Devon Heywood joins the Owls along with other Players from Colorado

The Minnesota Owls offseason is coming along nicely. After completing several recruiting trips the hard work by the staff is paying off by the signings of several players.

The Owls first inked goaltender Hunter Marsh from Colorado. Marsh played a split season last year between the Colorado Evolution (WSHL) and the Forest Lake Lakers (MNJHL). Marsh played 16 games and had a save percentage of .856 and 4.3 goals against. Also facing 856 shots total, is something that the Owls will look to decrease this year tremendously. The Owls are excited to have Hunter onboard and are looking forward to a great season.

The Owls then went out and inked several players from the DU Jr Pioneers Midget A team. They signed stand outs Devon Heywood who played 34 games and notched 11 goals and 23 assists. Heywood standing at 5'10 165 is a forward that plays anywhere you need him to play. Also from the DU Jr pioneers Midget A team is Ben Mabry and Trace Pederson. Both players are speedy and dangerous anywhere on the ice. They both have great vision on the ice and speed to really challenge the opposing teams defense.

Next out of Colorado is Dillon Lindholm. Dillon standing tall at 6'3 225 is a player who makes his presence known by just stepping on the ice. Dillon played for Club Highland Hills just outside of Denver,CO. Dillon will be the big body that the Owls were looking for who can play in front of the net and also dig in the corners, his presence will have an immediate impact on the team because of his size and skill he brings.

The Owls are very excited to announce all these signings and are excited to get the season underway.

Fisher is a leader and he will be expected to lead the team this year both on and off the ice.

Gillespie from Minnesota comes into this year now having one season under his belt and will be a veteran leader on this years team. Last season in 45 games Gillespie had 19 goals and 16 assists. He is hard working day in and day out and wants to become a better player everyday. Coach Tufto had this to say about Brandon " Brandon is a very hard worker and does not take lightly to losing or being beat, he brings a huge passion to the game on and off the ice and is very excited about this opportunity with the Owls".
